Effects of incorporating pine-woodchip biochar with reduced NP fertilizer on calcareous soil characteristics, organic carbon, NPK availability, and maize productivity
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Purpose: One of the successful and sustainable methods to restore low-fertility soils over the past few decades has been the integrated effect of biochar made from various feedstocks and chemical fertilizers. However, the ... -
Spatial heterogeneity analysis of matching degree between endangered plant diversity and ecosystem services in Xishuangbanna
( Springer , 2023 , Article)Biodiversity and ecosystem services (ESs) are closely linked. Human activities have caused critical damage to the habitat and ecosystem function of organisms, leading to decline in global biodiversity and ecosystem services. ... -
Organic materials amendments can improve NPK availability and maize growth by reducing heavy metals stress in calcareous soil
( Springer , 2023 , Article)The deficiency of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in calcareous soils of semi-arid climates is well recognized, and various green-based strategies have been employed to enhance their availability. However, the combined ... -
Plant traits poorly predict winner and loser shrub species in a warming tundra biome
( Springer , 2023 , Article)Climate change is leading to species redistributions. In the tundra biome, shrubs are generally expanding, but not all tundra shrub species will benefit from warming. Winner and loser species, and the characteristics that ... -
